This image is a photograph of John Sweeny as a not-particularly-old man. Sweeny died in 1901 at the age of 80 and this photo was used during his life. Photos such as this were often taken of new bishops shortly after they ascend to the position, which makes 1859-1860 a likely date for this photo. Thus it is reasonably expected that it was taken no later than 1880, published around that time, and is hence in the public domain.
